This may unconfused you Please take notice of the fact that the suppliers of these devices took the liberty to show them (presumably there best (photogenic) side) from different sides, this may have been cause of some confusion

I was referencing the k170 drain which the Toshiba datasheet shows the drain being on the opposite side of our pcb label.

How am I supposed to think what you thought, I can barely keep up with your expanding vocabulary.

Out of curiosity, with 2 amp cases, why all of 1 channel in 1 box and horizontal copper, instead of keeping power supplies well separated, but with vertical plumbing ?

(flickr search reads a bit odd)

Both cases are complete RIAA systems, the dark-texted one is MM and the light-texted one is MC. The inner boxes are, PSU(RIAA), RIAA, ADC(196/24), PSU(ADC) and Mains-Filter(Smallest box) as you may have deduced (I thought so ). There is no (not even a hint of) hum (net related) in the RIAA's.

Any specifics on the various riaa curves? Relative sound qualities? Merits of different resistors?
Also struggling to interpret the assembly on the pcb. Is it possible to have a break down of this specific section? The one part of the pcb guide w/o numbers...

hi berndt, you arrived at the inner sanctum of "bastling" right now! the values indicated in the schematic, which are supposed to be the end result of all parallel combinations you may want to put in there, will give you the groovy JG-MiiB house curve, a great place to start. the asse,bly guide has more proposals, looking for more neutrality, but that will all depend on your system and in particular on your loudspeakers.
keep bastling.....

Thank you hesener! The standard house sounds fine, would it be possible to just print a picture of what value goes where using the group buy Wilma caps? The build guide assumes that I can figure out which block on the riaa pcb coincides with the schematic, and I don't really get it. Also, for the house riaa are the pcb listed resistor values used?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
